    HELMET OPTIONS

    I have owned every version of Arai XD except the new XD5, obviously loved them all or I wouldn’t keep buying them, the new XD5 has some very significant improvements. I love the Peak or visor it works fantastic and at least for me it amazingly never catches or draggs in windy conditions . I...

    What you did to your Tenere today??!!

    I would be surprised to actually see a set of Dunlop TrailMax Missions wore out in only 13,000 miles , removed my last set with 21,000 miles and they appeared to still have a few thousand miles left

    where did you TAKE your Tenere today?

    Moonburger is definitely real beef . Moonburgers have been made at the Moonshine store in Moonshine Illinois for more than 40 years, Terry Hammond the guy that started the Moonshine Lunch Run used to say if you haven’t ridden to the Moonshine store for a Moonburger your just a motorcycle owner...

    where did you TAKE your Tenere today?

    Last week a friend asked me to join him and some church friends on a Saturday ride, supposedly 10 guys were going to ride 400 miles. I thought no way they will make 400 miles but it should be interesting to see how it turns all out. Saturday morning it was 35 degrees, we were supposed to meet...

    A new journey

    Very nice report but the Super Tenere “engine is super smooth” is definitely not something I would say.

    Front fork bushings, oil and dust seal for 2010 model

    At 25,000 miles I put All Balls seals and bushings in my 2013 because the original s were leaking very badly, 25,000 miles later when I traded for a new 2018 the seals were still not leaking. I also have used All Balls wheel bearings trouble free.

    New to Super Ten

    I also have experimented with and without the winglets I highly prefer having the winglets installed, and yes the windshield braces are another very good option installed on my Tenere.

    Battery option?

    I do not recommend the 14s for the Super Tenere, yes I had one and it does have slightly more cranking power than the stock 12s battery but it’s still not enough, I highly recommend switching to a Lithium battery with way more cold cranking amps.

    Upgrade to 2nd Gen??

    The stock throttle spring on the Super Tenere has waaaay to much tension that’s one reason cruise control is so important on the Tenere, another reason is I want to just enjoy the ride without constantly having to watch the speedometer to avoid speeding tickets . I’m addicted to cruise control...

    Tires That Fit - The List

    The last 4,000 miles or so they were making noise and vibrating when leaned over but considering the miles nothing really annoying, I really don’t know if it was the front or rear tire or maybe both doing it, prefer replacing tires in pairs so that’s what I did.

    Tires That Fit - The List

    Here is a picture of the set of Dunlop TrailMax Mission tires I removed in June with 21,000 miles on them, they definitely could have gone a few thousand more miles but I was leaving on a 3,000+ mile trip and didn’t want to risk having them get completely worn out before I got home. The new set...

    Upgrade to 2nd Gen??

    Traded my 50,000+ mile 13 Tenere for a brandnew 2018 Tenere ES and it cost me plenty. Yes The main reason I traded was to get cruise control . Currently 80,000+ miles on the 2018 and I have never regretted making the trade. Transferred the stock Yamaha luggage from the 2013 to the new 2018...

    Ignition key difficulty

    There are several lubes designed for locks on the market, even wd40 makes one specifically for locks, I bought an aerosol can of the wd40 stuff made for locks many years ago, rarely need it but when I do it works great.

    The anything thread.

    I own a LS 4155, Ford New Holland 6610 and a 8N Ford tractor, LS tractors are definitely built in Korea, LS also builds most of the smaller New Holland tractors in Korea, there was some talk a few years ago that New Holland was going to build a new plant somewhere and start building the small...
